11 11  == About Masked Stereolithography (MSLA) ==

13 13  [[Stereolithography>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereolithography]], often simply called "resin printing," is a family of similar processes used for 3d printing finely detailed or difficult geometries in [[photopolymer>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photopolymer]] resins. When exposed to UV light, these resins undergo a photo-initiated chemical reaction and cross-link permanently, becoming solid. Our machines use the MSLA process, in which UV light is passed through a high resolution LCD screen at the bottom of the resin tank. The LCD acts as a photo-mask by flashing an inverted image for each layer. As the image is flashed into the resin for a set number of seconds, the liquid in the tank solidifies, or "cures" at the locations where UV light is allowed to pass through. Since the light from the LCD is projected through a clear film at the bottom of the resin tank, the build plate starts at the bottom of the resin tank, pressed against the LCD and film, so that the first layer adheres well to the build plate. For each subsequent layer, the build plate moves up slightly, slowly drawing the printed part out of the resin vat.
